Before President Obama visited Corner Kitchen in Asheville, N.C., an "advance team" called ahead to make a reservation for six. An aide told the restaurant he was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him and requested a private room. The party of six that arrived was Mr. and Mrs. Obama and four of their friends. After ordering corn and crab chowder, mahimahi, baby arugula salad, a fried oyster appetizer, lobster tail, pork chops, and a souffle, a member of the president's staff went to the kitchen to watch the cook prepare the meal and tasted the food before it was served.

The Clinton family often vacationed on Martha's Vineyard, where they enjoyed the Presidential Muffin at Espresso Love. Former President Clinton enjoyed the red, white, and blue treat (cream cheese, blueberry, and strawberry) so much that he took it to peace talks with Irish officials. Facebook / Espresso Love

Ross Babbit, senior vice president of programming at the Travel Channel, shared some of Obama's and former presidents Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush's favorite restaurants, which were featured on the Travel Channel's special Travel Like a President.

Hosted by NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander, Travel Like a President offered an insider look at how the commander-in-chief travels and what he eats. Planning a weekend away or a simple night out involves as many as 200 hotel rooms, two jumbo 747s, two passenger jets, five helicopters, 35 motorcade vehicles, charter flights for the press, and a cast of hundreds of people involved in the preparation.

Part of the Travel Channel's "Travel Like ..." series, Travel Like the President followed Obama to the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City (where every president has stayed since Herbert Hoover), to his homecoming in Hawaii, and to an impromptu trip to Five Guys, but The Daily Meal has the scoop on eight of the presidential palate-pleasing restaurants favored by the first family.
